Gotta Let Your Soul Be Free

Brooklyn via Harlem's Jah C's tune "Soul Banger" (off the EP pictured above),sounds like it was crafted on another planet. It's a great tune. Listen to the lyrics, nod your head to the beat, sail away to that sax...

Labels can be suffocating, but we'll just call this intergalactic, heavyweight soul, for now.

If you go down to Washington Square Park, NYC

....you may just see Damu playing various beats on his MPC 2000 (see below).



The beats featured in the clip above are part of Damu's forthcoming FREE instrumental project "Overtime", to be released on the 5th of August.

Cover Art Still Matters

Vordul Mega knows that. Download the lead single Megagraphitti, produced by Dev One (most of you would have caught it on the great 2 Dope Boyz blog.) It's an ill track, channeling visions of chilling on the park bench with a bottle of Coopers or Heineken (take your pick), a Boom box and a joint in tow, without question.

For those who dig their Cannibal Ox (Vordul Mega and Vast Aire), there will be two reunion tracks on Vordul's forthcoming LP.

Out tomorrow

This is the cover to Cooper's new book on the origins of New York style graff.
